One of the eye-catching artwork is the "Tangka painting", or Tibetan scroll painting.
其中一种抢眼的艺术品是“唐卡画”，或称“藏族卷轴画”。

Created on rolls of silk or satin, the Tangka painting depicts Tibetan anecdotes or folk customs and images of the Buddha.
唐卡画是在一卷卷丝绸或缎子上创作的，描绘的是西藏的趣闻或民间传统以及佛像。

Featuring strict composition and elaborate depiction, it's an art handed down over a thousand years in the Tibet Autonomous Region, and today, the ancient artistic tradition still fascinates people from home and abroad.
以严谨的构图和详细的描绘为特色，它是西藏自治区传承一千多年的一种艺术，今天，这种古代的艺术传统仍然使海内外的人们为之着迷。

Qu Zhi, tangka artist, said, "I learned to paint 'Tangka' since I was little, the technique was passed down several generations in my family. It took me 4 months to complete this painting. The process includes designing, sketching, coloring, and portraying Buddha's face. Drawing the eyes is the last step, and is also the hardest and the most important step.
唐卡艺人Qu Zhi表示：“我从小就学画‘唐卡’，这种技术在我家传承了几代人。我花了4个月的时间完成这幅画。过程包括设计、画草图、上色和描绘佛的脸。画眼睛是最后一步，也是最困难、最重要的一步。”

The drum dance and dragon dance performance is another highlight of the exhibition, giving the visitors a chance to fully appreciate the charm of the country's "living heritage".
